Career
St Helens

Sheffield Eagles (loan)
His first professional try came for the Sheffield Eagles in a Championship game against the Rochdale Hornets in which they won 18–42. He spent the 2017 season on loan with the side. Following this loan spell, Spedding rejoined the Eagles as part of a Dual registration deal between St Helens and Sheffield for the 2018 season.[4] He was very impressive during his time at Sheffield and made a handful of Super League appearances at St Helens. However his loan to Barrow was less successful.

North Wales Crusaders
On 24 December 2024 it was reported that he had signed for North Wales Crusaders in the RFL League 1.[5]
